Chapter 46
As soon as Chen Peng returned to the restaurant, he was told by shopkeeper Chen waiting at the door that Tao Tang was coming, so he followed shopkeeper Chen to the most elegant small courtyard behind.
As soon as Chen Peng entered the courtyard, he saw Tao Tang sitting in the courtyard bored and playing with the teacup in his hand.
Chen Peng bent the corners of the fox eyes, and stepped forward with a smile, "Master Tao, why do you come to my place when you have time?"
Tao Tang Xunsheng looked over, "You are finally back, I thought you were going to live there!"
"You're joking, why would I live there." After answering Tao Tang, Chen Peng handed the packing box in his hand to shopkeeper Chen, "Uncle, take this to help warm up, and then serve a table of signature dishes. Chat with Master Tao while eating."
"Okay!" Shopkeeper Chen took the packing box and looked at it carefully as he walked towards the back kitchen.
"Shopkeeper, this thing is good. It's better than food boxes. Fortunately, it can keep warm and doesn't need to be heated at all. You can see that the food inside is still hot. Hey, this food smells delicious. Can I have a bite? "
Shopkeeper Chen also saw the hot dishes in the packing box, and slapped Chef Jiang's claws on the dish bowl, "Come on, this is for entertaining distinguished guests, don't worry, master will be here in two days, When the time comes, I will let you learn how to make these things from her, and I promise you will taste enough, by the way, remember to serve the table that the boss wants first."
After the shopkeeper Chen explained, he covered the packing box with his own hands, carried it back to the backyard, and brought a pot of good old wine, thinking that the two children in the backyard could chat while eating.
Chef Jiang is an easy-to-learn cook, and he also likes to study. He was so happy to hear that someone came to teach him to cook new dishes.
His singing caused quite a stir. The guests who were eating in front, including the guests in the private room, stopped talking one after another, and followed him to beat the time with their chopsticks.
Tao Tang, the new county magistrate in the backyard, was in a good mood when he heard that, "Chen Peng, your restaurant has a great atmosphere, no wonder it is the largest restaurant in the county."
Chen Peng chuckled, "I'm overwhelmed."
He thought to himself, I have never heard this fisherman's song before, who gave me such a long face today!
Shopkeeper Chen stood outside the door and heard the conversation between the two, and thought to himself: Chef Jiang, I will give you money later, you are really giving Fulai Restaurant a face, and you must have attracted many customers in front of you , I have to hurry up and see.
He raised his hand and knocked on the door, "Boss, the food you packed is still hot, and I sent another jug of wine, do you want to eat first?"
In front of outsiders, shopkeeper Chen still calls Chen Pengdong's family, and these rules still need to be explained.
"Uncle, come in!" Chen Peng responded loudly to the door, and then brought Tao Tang into the room.
After shopkeeper Chen entered the room, Chen Peng remembered to introduce, "Uncle, magistrate Tao is my former classmate. If you have new dishes in the future, send a copy to the county government. He came to take office by himself. You can't make him starve."
"Ah, haha, okay, don't worry, leave it to me, Master Tao, I will arrange your three meals in the future, if there is something wrong with us in the future, don't point it out directly, we will definitely correct it .”
Although shopkeeper Chen knew that Tao Tang was his nephew's classmate, he talked a lot on the scene.
Tao Tang nodded lightly, "Master Chen, don't be polite to me in the future. If you are Chen Peng's elder, then you are my elder. When there are no outsiders present, you can call me Tao Tang."
Shopkeeper Chen poured a glass of wine for each of them, put down the jug and waved his hands again and again, "No, no, no, it's not okay, it's better to call Master Tao, so as not to cause trouble for you by saying the wrong thing someday. Eat slowly, I'll rush to order some food."
When the shopkeeper Chen left, he thoughtfully closed the door for the two of them.
Tao Tang knew it well, this shopkeeper Chen knew how to measure, he seemed to be able to come to Fulai Restaurant to eat often, presumably, he was also very strict, and he would not tell who he met with Chen Peng when he came here.
"That girl is really a fool? I thought they were all lying to me today!"
Sitting at the table, Tao Tang chewed with relish the braised stew that Chen Peng packed back, thinking: Now she has been completely reborn, or a shocking reversal.
The admiration that only flashed in Tao Tang's eyes disappeared in a flash, but it was still caught by Chen Peng.
He said jokingly: "You, you can come to our store frequently in the future, and I promise you to eat new dishes every day. When you don't want to go out, you can send someone to say hello to me. Brother Meal will deliver food to you."
Tao Tang raised his head and stared at Chen Peng with great interest, "Brother delivering food? Takeaway? What is it?"
With high spirits, Chen Peng shared the new knowledge he learned from Mingyue today to his classmate and old friend who had been away for many years.
When Chen Peng was 12 years old, he studied in the Imperial College with Tao Tang. Tao Tang was withdrawn by nature. Because of his cold temper, he had no friends at that time, and he hardly spoke except answering the questions raised by his master in class. What can be said, he talked endlessly all day long, even my husband was afraid of him, because he was afraid of being haunted by him to chant sutras. At that time, little Chen Peng became interested in challenging Tao Tang, and he was determined to make this ice cube Warm up, later, not only did Chen Peng fail to make Tao Tang more active, but he was influenced to talk less, which frightened Old General Luo, fearing that his relatives and grandsons might get sick, After all, he was the one who forced him to study in the Guozijian. It was really not worth the loss if his mind was damaged by reading, so he took Chen Peng out in advance, and took him directly to Anyuan City. Later, it turned out that Chen Peng Not only is Peng's brain not broken, but it is even more useful, because Chen Peng secretly took his private money to Xiling County and opened a restaurant.
"By the way, Mingyue said that she would choose someone from the beggars in the county to be the mistress, and she said that she would lighten some of the burden on your management by the way. But, do you think this beggar can work well for us?"
Tao Tang shook his head, "How do I know, I just came today, and I have been busy with Zhang Biao's case for a whole day, and I don't have time to go around the street. It's better for you to understand the situation. However, this Mingyue is better than making money for others. Think about it more."
"However, with Li Da around, no one would dare to do anything wrong." Chen Peng gave himself a reassurance with a calm face, and then followed Tao Tang's words: "Her mother is the one who sacrifices herself for the people and has the demeanor of a chivalrous man." In the past, he saved the people of a county with his own strength, and anyone who mentioned it would praise her righteousness. She? She has more demeanor and heart than a chivalrous person."
"Li Da? By the way, I heard the village chief mention this person in Wangjia Village today. Who is he?"
Chen Peng told Tao Tang about Li Da again, and finally remembered Mingyue's entrustment, and added hastily, "I said, how do you plan to deal with these local snakes? You are here, so you don't have to contend with Wang Ba Well, Li Da has just had a pair of children, I think he should be able to wash his hands, but thanks to his presence in the past few years, there have been no incidents of vandalism and looting on the street. If he really comes home, his wife and children will be hot Now, you have to spend a lot of effort on law and order, why don't you just take them into the ranks and become patrolling officials, so you don't have to worry about it."
Tao Tang squinted at Chen Peng, "Wife and children are hot on the kang? Security? I can understand what you mean, but, where did you learn these new words? Don't say you made it up yourself, I don't believe it."
"Learned from Mingyue." After answering smoothly, Chen Peng really wanted to sew his mouth shut.
"So, Mingyue told you all these evil ideas?"
Facing Shang Tao Tang's suspicious gaze, Chen Peng chuckled, "We just said this casually during the meal. Li Da was not there at the time, so we don't know if Li Da is willing or not!"
"By the way, why is Mingyue's mother so righteous? Why didn't the court reward you for saving the people of a county? You guys had a really meaningful meal. From business to the people's happiness index, we talked about it." You are really concerned about the security of Xiling County, the country and the people, so why not talk about the military in the next step?"
"How does the imperial court reward? At that time, seeing Ming Yueniang cured the plague, the imperial court sent Zhang Biao to cure the plague. How could Zhang Biao let go of such a great contribution? He put the credit on himself and reported It is said that he went to Anyuan City to ask for a prescription that was researched by more than a dozen doctors, so the imperial court rewarded him, and by the way, added a plaque of Loyalty Xinglin to the doctors he mentioned, hmph, your expression My brother-in-law is not as shameless as usual. My grandfather didn't kill him for the sake of the Mu family and Wang family. With your cousin here, my grandfather turned a blind eye to the chaos in Xiling County. Yes, besides, he is a military general stationed at the border or a deputy general, so it is not good for him to intervene in the affairs of civil servants, but he is still very angry. You should check it carefully when you go back. Anyway, you will tear yourself apart, so you should check it thoroughly. Kuang Fuzheng said To avenge the common people, when the time comes, my grandfather will definitely buy you a drink. Oh, by the way, Mingyue, don’t tell me, Mingyue also gave me a recipe for making instant noodles and spicy cabbage, which is very suitable for the rapid march and scouts in the military camp .”
After finishing speaking, Chen Peng realized that he had talked too much today, so he quickly shut up and changed the topic to Tao Tang.
"Why are you so busy today looking for me? Let's reminisce about the old days. It's fine for you to deal with business."
"Don't change the subject, don't worry, I won't tell you about the things you talked about with Mingyue, but you should be careful in front of outsiders in the future, not everyone is your friend, if your words are used by someone with a heart, spread In the ears of the person in the capital, it will be very detrimental to the Luo family, and it will also affect your father, who should be promoted this year if there is no accident."
"I'm here today to talk to you about the past, and to ask for your help. I heard that General Luo Shen dispatched the Dingxi Army to help catch fugitives. This time I'm busy. If the 53 criminals really ran away I am afraid that Xiling County will not be able to live in peace. Thanks to his action, I can save myself from worrying about it. Presumably General Luo has not left yet. I would like to invite him to a meal to express my gratitude. Your Majesty is worried about our military and political collusion, so it is inconvenient for us to do so with great fanfare. Contact, but I can communicate with you in private, our relationship will help me manage Xiling County better. Hey, tell me, how did General Luo know of someone breaking out of prison by such a coincidence?"
Chen Peng narrowed his fox eyes slightly when he heard the words, "Don't come to trick me, I really don't know, I just run a restaurant and do business, so I will know about important military and political affairs. But I can help you make an appointment with him, but whether you come here or not It depends on him, if he agrees to the appointment, then you can ask him personally."
"Well, thank you! I hope you can continue to maintain such caution, otherwise you will be stalked every minute when you return to the capital."
"I'm not going back. I'm free here. Why go back!" Chen Peng looked like a carefree bird, his eyes reflected the vast blue sky that could fly freely.
Tao Tang took a deep look at Chen Peng.Boy, you haven't experienced a kind of grievance called involuntary.
